deb : You have a lot to contribute. The other day when you mentioned something about mirror image on mikes blog you answered one of the connections I had been searching for.And yes They do believe of three different levels . You may think I'mm crazy but I do to.

Better ask the ancient ones, havent any of you looked at native beliefs? Three levels of existance, I would think those looking at Taos would have.

Been doing a lot of reading and research in this area lately myself...trying to find info for one specific legend of the Blackfoot which concerns the birth place and death place of warm waters...don't know if relevant but if any one runs across this I'd appreciate a heads up...thanks...

Also keeping handy many proverbs that may pertain to the chase in some way, such as:

Listening to a liar is like drinking warm water. Orig.Unk.(from J.Kile's blog)

The soul would have no rainbow if the eye had no tears. Orig.Unk.

Listen, or your tongue will make you deaf. Orig.Unk.

You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep. Navaho

One finger cannot lift a pebble. Hopi

We will be known forever by the tracks we leave. Dakota

If we wonder often, the gift of knowledge will come. Arapaho

Only a few, there are tons more...Indian myths and legends are also very interesting and revealing if you want to take the time to read for hours...been enjoying it myself, others here may also...too many links to list...start looking and enjoy...
